Aging brings plenty of changes to our bodies, with our skin showing some of the most visible signs of the passage of time. Knowing how to care for evolving skin is one of the best ways to delay signs of aging, as well as avoid painful symptoms like thinning skin.
At Bloo Pharmapeutica, we understand the unique challenges and considerations accompanying senior skincare. In this blog, we’ll explore five key things to know about caring for skin as we age, as well as insights and tips to help you maintain healthy, radiant skin well into your golden years. Read on to learn more!
As we age, our skin undergoes a series of structural changes that affect the appearance, texture, and resilience of the outer dermis. Over time, the skin’s natural oil production decreases, as does the creation of collagen fibre and elastin, all of which pose a challenge to skin and health and can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, dryness, irritation and more. Understanding these kinds of changes to the overall structure of your skin is the first step to being able to properly treat signs and symptoms through the use of a tailored skincare plan.
One of the most important aspects of senior skincare is keeping on top of hydration and moisture levels in the skin. As we age, the skin’s ability to retain moisture diminishes, leading to dryness, dullness, and an increased risk of chronic irritation. Incorporating hydrating skincare products into your daily routine, such as moisturizers and treatments formulated with nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides, goes a long way and can help replenish lost moisture, restore the skin’s natural barrier function, and keep your complexion healthy.
There’s a good reason doctors, dermatologists, and medical professionals as a whole strongly endorse using sun protection when venturing outdoors. Prolonged exposure to UV rays not only accelerates the aging process but also increases the risk of skin cancer and other serious health concerns. To avoid issues like prematurely thinning skin, it’s important to embrace suncare at every age and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily, wear protective clothing and accessories when outdoors, and seek shade during peak sun hours.
While it’s important to avoid harsh chemicals and aggressive skin treatment at any age, it’s crucial to be aware that senior skin is even more sensitive and delicate. Strong cleansers and exfoliants often strip the skin of its natural protective oils, leading to redness and discomfort. Mild cleansers that are fragrance-free, as well as gentle exfoliants like retinols are a good way to promote cell turnover without causing unnecessary damage and stress to the outer dermis, both of which tend to lead to more obvious signs of aging.
Everyone’s skin is different, and while there are quite a few commonalities that come with aging skin for all (thinning skin, wrinkles, age spots, etc.), it’s best to curate a skincare regimen that’s tailored to your specific needs. Skincare products formulated with potent ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, and peptides, can help improve skin texture, fade discolouration, and stimulate collagen production for a more youthful appearance, all while leaving you more protected in the process.
